Label TextThe ceramic rosettes in this sculpture were individually hand painted, and fired, yet together they resolve into one image, which was inspired by sixteenth-century tapestry.
Las rosetas cerámicas que componen esta escultura fueron pintadas una a una y luego horneadas; sin embargo, juntas se fusionan para conformar una única imagen inspirada en la tapicería del siglo XVI.
